the water system seems to be fine, the engine is turning over so i thought it wouldnt be belt, would it still turn over with the belt snapped? its in the garasge now, but to ease my mind id like to know if any1 has any opinions

Hi does any1 know how difficult it is to remove and refit the alterntor of the 16v? and a random guess at how much one is to get refurbed or whatever they do?!? thanx myk

where bouts r u lad? pull the dash out and check all connections, check bulbs and have you checked the fuse box next to the washer bottle?

this happened when i crashed me last car wouldnt turn over cause it had a fuel cut off switch, if u can easily find out where it is its worth a try.

only if its pulled to the roof, i have adjusted it b4 but think it may b time for new one cheers =)

rite i got 205s on mine at moment and not much scrubbin but when i looked at the car today on the front i am thinkin they mite not fit width wise as the current 40s are close to the wing and front bumper mite possibly go on if i take the inner arch out has any1 got ny opinions on doing this, or...

as i have sed b4 my tyres are very low i am runnin bf 205 17 40s at the moment its not lowered so would 205 50s fit? has anyone tried this at all? cause i can get a set of part worn ones to keep me goin till i can afford new tyres

long story short, tyres are gettin too low on valver to drive, as they 17s carnt afford tyres this month so to get me by was thinkin borrowin a mates 14" steelies from his clio and runnnin them, will they fit and if so will there be ny problems with them on? thanx mike

i got a set on my car wen i bought it they looked well tacky threw them in the bin, if i remember correctly they aint cheap either

squeeze it and pull back there is a bit of a knack to it there should be like a raised bit either side to do this.

think these are the two most common problems on the clios, like sed try the mtrix flush worked for me. I hear there is 2 causes of wter from there either it comes in sunroof so new seal for that or comes in ariel that was were mine ws from i put new rubber washer nd silicon sealent on it. hope...

I got a 16v with power steerin problen. when first started in the morning or when left to cool down for a while and turn the wheels it makes a bad sound all i can say is its loud and not nice, sort of like grinding. I think it maybe the fluid freezing but does it when its above 0degrees any ideas?

check under front seats my mates had a connection and when seat went back it disconnected worth a look

if a car runs 15 seconds and 1 is 1 second behind it then its about 1/16th then take into acount its goin faster at end so 1/30 of quarter mile ie 12m.... I would hve thought at about 80-90mph 1 second is more than a couple of car lengths?

hmmmmmmmm a 4.7k ohm resistor by any chance?

Bump Steer is when your wheels steer themselves without input from the steering wheel. The undesirable steering is caused by bumps in the track interacting with improper length or angle of your suspension and steering linkages.
